Lynda.com was an online video learning platform founded in 1995 by Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin, offering courses in software, creative, and business skills. LinkedIn acquired Lynda.com in 2015 (~$1.5B) and folded it into LinkedIn Learning; the standalone Lynda.com service has been retired and www.lynda.com now 301-redirects to linkedin.com/learning. The brand exposes no public developer program or API surface of its own. This profile was surfaced as an Accel portfolio company and enriched as a lead; the honest result is a defunct brand with no first-party API.
Lynda.com is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Education, EdTech, and Online Learning.
